Biography
Sammy Robinson was born in New Orleans to an African-American creole family, and he spoke with a French Creole accent. Robinson was a devout Catholic, and he was a respected member of the creole community in the city. He would become the leader of the "black mob", a group of criminals based at his bar on the outskirts of the city, and Robinson worked with the Marcano crime family of the American Mafia, giving them a slice of the action. Robinson raised the future crime boss Lincoln Clay, and Clay was always loyal to Robinson. In 1968, however, Robinson ran into issues with the Haitian gang led by Baka, and he also began to run out of money. The American Mafia was not pleased, and they decided to assassinate Robinson and destroy the black mob after Sal Marcano believed that he had outlived his usefulness.
